Introduction

Each ThinkSystem SN550 compute node supports up to two 2.5-inch hot-swap Serial Attached SCSI (SAS), Serial ATA (SATA) or Non-Volatile Memory express (NVMe) hard disk drives.

When you receive your Lenovo ThinkSystem SN550 Type 7X16 compute node, refer to the Setup Guide to set up the compute node, install optional devices, and perform the initial configuration of the compute node. Meanwhile, the Maintenance Manual contains information to help you solve problems that might occur in your Lenovo ThinkSystem SN550 Type 7X16 compute node. It describes the diagnostic tools that come with the compute node, error codes and suggested actions, and instructions for replacing failing components.

The compute node comes with a limited warranty. For details about the warranty, see:Lenovo Statement of Limited Warranty

For details about your specific warranty, see:Lenovo Product Warranty Plans

Note
  1. The first generation Chassis Management Module (CMM1; 68Y7030) is not supported by the ThinkSystem SN550 compute node.
  2. The second generation Chassis Management Module (CMM2; 00FJ669) must be at firmware level 1.6.1 or above to support the ThinkSystem SN550 compute node. This applies to both CMMs that are installed in the chassis.
  3. The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your model.
